- Amorphous MaterialsMaterial
Plastics with a disordered molecular structure that lack an ordered crystalline structure. Characterized by being flexible, transparent, and impact-resistant.
- CrystallineMaterial
Plastic material that has a molecular structure with combinations of highly ordered (crystalline) regions and disordered (amorphous) regions.
- Semicristaline MaterialsMaterial
Type of plastic materials in an intermediate structural state between the irregular structure of amorphous materials and the ordered structure of crystalline materials, with greater mechanical strength.
